LAB ARMOR BEAD BADEN

We used for years a waterbath for the manufacture of our IDRing plates that requires to keep high volumes of agar gel at 60°C before to use it. The use of a waterbath have the inconvenience to generate high hot humidity in the laboratory and it was not really good working conditions for the technicians. We also had the risk that a technician will burn with hot water projections or hot steam. Moreover, it was necessary to regularly add water in the bath and also to add chemical products in the water in order to prevent bacterial growth.

Kentron Microbiology adviced us to change for a Lab Armor bead bath. They first loaned us a bead bath in order to try it. We fisrt demonstrated homogeneity and stability of the temperature in the bead bath. Then we were quicky convinced about the muliple advantages to use a bead bath for our production process: no more humidity in the lab (the technicians appreciate very much !), no more maintenance and no need to add chemical products. It is very convenient for our application were it is necessary to maintain vertically big flasks containing very hot agar gel. It is really much more easy to work now than when we were using a conventional waterbath, and it is safer for our team ! So I highly recommand the use of Lab Armor bead bath !
